He noted that Stein’s presence in the general election is what cost Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton the necessary votes in two of the recount states.

“Look, if she really cared about the outcome of Wisconsin and Michigan, she wouldn’t have campaigned there, siphoned away votes that obviously would’ve gone to Hillary and have given her the state,” Krauthammer said. “She caused Hillary to lose Wisconsin and lose Michigan. If one-fifteenth of the people who supported her in the election had gone to Hillary in Michigan, Hillary would’ve won the state. If one-quarter of those [that] had gone to her in Wisconsin had gone to Hillary, she would’ve won.”

Krauthammer compared Stein’s actions to the 2000 election, when liberal activist Ralph Nader syphoned enough votes away from Al Gore in Florida to tip the state in favor of George W. Bush.

“This is the Ralph Nader of 2016 now cashing in on her sabotage, there’s no other word, of the Clinton campaign,” he said.

Stein defended her recount efforts Monday, even though she admitted there was no evidence of foul play at the ballot box.

The Green Party candidate explained the decision to push for recounts only in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — three states that ended up going for President-elect Donald Trump.

“This is a scam by the Green Party and Jill Stein for an election that has already been conceded. The result of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused,” the statement said.

Stein has filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission after it refused to do a hand recount.
